HYPOCRISY BOILED DOWN.
The Radical leaders, after having deceived the
soldiers with a bounty law which makes no
provision for the payment of the bounties it
proposes to give, thus insult the intelligence
of the men whom they have cheated and are
now seeking again to deceive:
--That iLe giatltude of the people to the
soldiers and sailors, whose bravery met and
overthrew the slaveholders' rebellion, should
have repeated and emphatic expression; and
that we heartily disapprove of find condemn
the course of the Secretary of the Treasury,
in postponing and ignoring the just claims of
our brave defenders upon the bounty of the
Government, awarded to them by the National
Congress." , . , , e
This language is found in the platform of
the Radical party of this State. Words are
very cheap and it is an easy matter to fawn
una flatter, but why did not these glorious
f'rieuds of the soldier denounce Congress,
their own Congress, for not making provision
for the payment of the additional bounties?
Ah! there's the rub! The Secretary of the
Treasury would willingly pay them, nay, he
could not withhold payment, if he had the
means wherewith to do it. And why is it
that the treasury is exhausted? Soldiers, we
will tell you! It is because the expenses of the
Congressional Satraps teho hare been set up
over the South, in order to Africanize that
portion of the country, must bepaid. It costs
millions upon millions to carry out the Con
gressional plan of reconstruction, which is
intended for no other purpose than to hand
over the ten excluded States to the domina
tion of negroes, so that the Radical party may
retain its ascendancy. The Freedman's Bu
reau and the Reconstruction Suzerains must be
supported. Soldiers, you can wait for your
bounties till the Radicals make the negroes
your political and social equals!—ln view of
these facts, (and stubborn facts they are) is
not the above quoted resolution, a piece of
the most infamous, shameless, and disgusting
hypocrisy that ever emLnated from the heart
of man? Who can be deceived by it, nay who
will notjoip us in denouncing it as it deserves?
The above article has been copied bodily
from the Gazette of last week. We present
it to our readers to show them the manner
in which some people call upon their imagi
nation for their facts. It is not probable
that the editor of that paper intended to
manufacture, out of the whole cloth, a
statement so flagrant and overwhelmingly
devoid of truth, but having seen astatement
put forth by some irresponsible correspon
dent of the Associated Press, at Washing
ton, to the effect that their was no unap
propriated money in th Treasury, and
without further inquiry, he jumps to the
conclusion that the unsupported assertions
of this irresponsible person, as ill informed
as himself, are true. Therefore he makes
the above deductions and reflections upon
the Republican party, confidently asserting
that "the Secretary of the Treasury would
willingly pay them, [Additional Bounties, j
nay, he could not withhold payment, if HE
HAD THE MEANS WHEREWITH TO DO XT.
Alas, how ridiculous an uninformed and
conceited creature can make himself Were
it not advisable for such little boats to re
main near shore? In the future would it not
be advisable to be fully informcd'upon the
merits of a question, before attempting to
scribble half a column of stupid and unjus
tifiable nonsense? ' 'Hypocrisy boiled down!''
But to the point. Immediately upon the
assembling of Congress, on the 3d of July,
instant, a resolution was adopted by the
Lower House, directing the Secretaries of
the Navy and the Treasury to inform that
body what further legislation, if any, is ne
cessary to facilitate the payment of the Ad
ditional Bounty, granted by the aßt of July
28, 1866. The Secretary of War transmit
ted in reply to this resolution, to the House,
the following letter from the Paymaster
General, B. W. Brice, whose duty it is to
pay these claims, under date of July 11, in
which he says:
"So far as relates to this bureau, lam of
the opinion that no further legislation is nec
essary. Paymasters and clerks, as many as
can successfully engage in the work of ex
amining and paying the claims for additional
bounty, are diligently and industriously em
ployed. Any change in the system now in
progress, I feel sure, would tend rather to
retard than facilitate the accomplishment of
the desired end. It is proper to explain that
the rolls to which reference mast be had for
the authentication of each bounty claim have
passed from the custody of the office to that
branch of the Treasury Department, the office
of Second Auditor, to which they finally per
tail!, fbr the OTominotiAD ami RoHlomoat of
disbursing officers' accounts. This bureau is
therefore, dependent upon the Auditor for
essential facts to be derived from the rolls in
his possession before the claims can be finally
determined and paid. The payments follow
just as rapidly as the answers to onr inquiries
are received from the Auditor. With the
present facilities of this office, the number
paid monthly could be largely increased if it
were possible for the Second Auditor to sup
ply us with the needed data. Whether that
officer, with an increase of his clerical force,
could hasten the work in his office, or whether
he has not already as many clerks engaged as
the special matter of furnishing data to ns,
from its nature, can be profitably so employed,
are question; properly to be answered by
himself."
Here Congress is told, by the Pay De
partment, " THAT NO FURTHER LEGIS
LATION IS NECESSARY." What a nice lit
tle Copperhead argument this little letter
spoils! What a pity that the soldiers will
be able to see through this nice little game
and be able to put the blame where the
Republican Party has so justly placed it!
The 2nd Auditor, in a communication
dated July 17,1867, comes handsomely to
the relief of the Secretary' of Treasury, for
manifest delay, and attributes the difficulty
to the vast number of claims and the time
required to examine the rolls, but adds:—
"In the course of a couple of months they
will probably be settled at the rate of fifteen
thousand per month, and, if possible, the
number of settlements will be increased."
Since the passage of the House resolution
of inquiry and the reply of Gen. Briee, a
number of these claims have been paid, as
we have good reason to know, showing be
yond a reasonable doubt that the Republi
can Convention was right in attributing the
delay to the Secretary of the Treasury, and
further it entirely disposes of the huge fab
rication that Congress had passed the bill
giving additional bounties without making
any appropriation for the payment of them,
and that the Treasury is exhausted. Will
the Gazette correct its error?
THE VETO.
After some delay the President, on the
19th inst., sent to Congress the veto for
which they had been waiting. After the
reading of which, and an hour's discussion
in the house, the bill was promptly passed
over it by a vote of 109 to 24. The Senate
•without debate promptly passed the bill by
a vote of 30 to 6. This prompt and deci
sive action on the part of Congress was not
unexpected. After long and mature de
liberation, during which time even the
most urgent appeals from the country could
not spur Congress into uudue haste, a policy
of reconstruction was decided upon and
adopted. Directly in the face of his former
act and professions, the President at once
arrayed himself on the side of the rebels
and traitors, uud against the Congressional
policy of reconstruction, because that policy
was carefully arranged so as to secure loyal
governments to the states lately in rebellion,
and to prevent the late rebel leaders from
controlling and directing the new state gov
ernments. From that time to the present,
veto has followed veto, and every act de
signed to carry out the Congressional policy
has met with the persistent opposition of
the President. Rut the policy, as adopted,
has been sanctioned by the voice of the peo
ple at the ballot-box throughout the coun
try, and thus sustained, Congress hesitates
not in whatever supplementary legislation
mav be necessary to the successful enforce
ment of its policy. The people have spo
ken, their servants have acted, and despite
the Presidential marplot, the will of the
I>eople is made the law of the land, and
will be enforced. No new arguments are
advanced in this last veto, old sophistries are
rehashed, and the utterances of partisan
stump orators are embodied in a state docu
ment and given, as far as possible, the dig
nity of official authority. The message
closes with a petulant threat, evincing the
unmistakable spirit of a would be tyrant,
which if attempted to be carried out will yet
result in impeachment, a passionate appeal
to the people of whose voice he has for more
that two years been utterly regardless and a
few hypocritical sentences about a violated
constitution, than which nothing could come
with a worse grace, from him, who at the
close of the rebellion undertook to usurp al'
the legislative powers of the country, and
not only dictate the terms of reconstruction,
but has ever since persisted in attempting
to force those terms upon the country,
against the will of the people, North and
South, and in defiance of the Constitution
ally authorized legislative power of the coun
try.
Greeley's petulant and foolish reply
to tho TTnion of New York, wherein
he stigmatizes those who differ with him in
opinion as ' blockheads" was a god-send to
the Gazette. Thai "Grandmother's Re
view" seizes upon the term with as much
avidity as a child would upon a penny's
worth of jujube paste. Bless the old lady,
she must be indulged in her infirmity.
Stir The Gazette, a week or two since,
called upon its adherents to organize for the
election of 1 'Reform candidates." This is a
very candid admission that the affairs of the
county have been improperly conducted bv
its party. It is about time that the cry of
"Reform!" comes from that source alter a
mal administration of a dozen years. Will
the people be gulled by the cry of Reform?

of the Delaware County Republican, one

CORRESPONDENCE.
FROM WASHINGTON CITY.
Special Currcspondcnce to the InqnißEß.
WASHINGTON, July 20, 1867.
The second supplement to the Reconstruc
tion act of March 2nd, 1867, having passed
both Houses, or rather, been concurred in
by the Conference Committee, and which
you will doubtless spread at length before
j'OHr readers, I herewith enclose a copy as
it came from the hands of the Committee.
The Bill is almost entirely the Senate
Bill, cutting off four of the House amend
ments, but yet covering the whole ground,
and while the peculiar valu' of this act seem
ed to demand its consideration before each
House separately, in its final passage, rather
than refer it to the hands of a select Com
mittee, we need not fear that its efficiency
has been impaired from want of able and
loyal hands in the Committee rooms. I
will give the committee.
On the part of the Senate, Messrs. Truui
buil, Edmunds and Hendricks. On the
part of the House, Messrs. Stevens, Bout
well and Holman.
Penal section No. 11 of the House was
abandoned by the Committee, as well as
section 10 declaring that the Commanding
General, Ac., shall, or cannot, be removed
from office except upon the order of the
Commanding General, and with the advice
and consent of the Senate, but these points
are constructively embodied in the Senate
amendments to the Ist section, declaring
that the powers granted in the several acts
on reconstruction shall belong to the Com
manding Generals and to the "Paramount
authority of Congress;" and by section 10
of the Senate declaring that the District
Commanders and Boards of rcgi.-tration
shall not be concluded in their actions by,
or pay any attention to, the dictum of any
civil officer of the United States.
This broad and sweeping section certainly
contains no doubtful language and is a
painful notice to Mr.Stanbcrry that the na
tion requires nooe of his opinions, that the
people want no more of this, "Now you
see it and now you don't see it" kind of
proccedingsj and arc heartily disgusted with
patent policies and opinions always prepar
ed, and offered persistently as a Connecticut
clock peddler would his "superior articles,"
"the best ever offered" Ac.; being deter
mined that the President .--hall no longer in
terferc with the work of restoration on the
basis laid down by Congress.
This is also seen by the latter part of sec
tion 7, where persons are denied the right of
registration for certain crimes no matter
whether they hold the Executive Pardon
either by General Amnesty or special act.
The Resolutions offered by Messrs. Rutler
and Shanks and appointment of ('oinniittoes
to investigate the Assassination Conspiracy,
and the Andersonviile prison atrocities send
joyous hope to every loyal heart.
'Tis a subject Congress should have look
ed into long since. It is all Assassination
from the lirst union soldier murdered on
the dead line up to the murder of the Presi
dent, one long line of inexcusable atrocious
and damnable murder.
When the Confederacy saw there was no
hope of success at home or of foreign aid,
and that the issue was lost by all fair means,
they did not scruple to adopt this. What
they could not accomplish at the Front they
would do in the Rear, and the names of
Andersonviile, Saulisberry, Millen, Libby
and Bell Isle, at once sickened the North
ern heart. 1 hese places were prepared by
the Confederate government and officers
selected who had "undoubted capacity to
govern prisoners," and with these martyr
holds the names of Winder, Wirz and
Gee, became notorious, fully evincing their
capacity by murdering at least fifty thous
and men under the very eyes of Jeff.
Davis and his brutal Secretary of War, which
is abundantly shown by the Record of the
Gee trial and the archives of the Rebel War
Department.
Who can believe that the men who would
murder prisoners of war, by all the tortucs
of heH itself, would scruple one moment to
procure the death of the President. That
Davis and his cabinet knew of and procured
the death oi Lincoln there is no doubt.
Let villainy be unmasked and obscurity
disgorge her startling Record until every
martyr's dust, every widow's groans, and ev
ery orphan's tears shall be avenged.

FROM MISSOURI.
KANSAS CITY, MO., July 12, 1567.
Editors Bedford Inquirer:— It is now
over two months since I left Bedford conn
ty. Since then I have travelled over a vast
extent of country—particularly that border
ing on the Missouri river. The first point I
reached was Omaha, a city of ciHiMiJeriihle
importance, owing to the fact of if- being
the Eastern terminus of the Central Pacific
Railroad, and the point at which miners
for Montana and Idaho usually make up
their outfit.
In point of trade, Omaha has no rival,
at this time, on the Missouri river, although
her natural advantages do not seem to bi
as great as some of the cities below her.
Nebraska City, St. Joseph and Leaven
worth, T visited in their turn, but found
them with but little trade, compared with
the magnitude of the places. They really
seemed to have no prospective future suf
ficient to induce capitalists to invest in bus
iness—owing, perhaps, to the fact that
neither branch of the Pacific 11. 11. makes
at either of them its eastern terminus. A
significant fact, indeed, that no city can live
and prosper long without railroad connec
tions diverging from her.
My next point of entry was Kansas City.
Mo. The first impression made npim my
mind on beholding the city, was anvthihg
hut favorable, at least, so far as its t-jpogra
phy is concerned. "A city built upon
hills.'' with streets cut through in every
direction, and mammoth business houses
erected immediately under the shallow ol
the adjacent hills, whilst private residences
stand everywhere on the hill tops, over
looking the surrounding country, arid pre
seating quite a romantic and picturesque
appearance. But when I examined its
geographical position, and what nature
would seem to have intended By her loca
tion, I could not fail to admire the site.
Situate on the south west hank of the Mis
souri river, at the confluence of the Kaw
river, and just at that point where the Mis
souri river, after coursing her way for 2,">Ki
miles South, makes her great bend East
and pursues that direction nearly 4tN> miles
further, until she. mingles her waters with
those of the Mississippi river above St.
Louis, l'pon this natural highway stands
Kansas City. At a point, too, to which
capitalists of'the East seem to have directed
their attention. No less than seven rail
roads are now being constructed to this
point, three of which are in running order:
The Missouri Pacific Railroad, the North
Missouri Railroad, the Platte Valley Rail
road, the Cameron Branch of the Hannibal
& St. Joseph Railroad, the Leavenworth
Railroad, the Galveston, Fort Scott A Kan
sas City Railroad, and the Union Pacific!
Railroad, whose Eastern terminus is within
the city limits.
Besides which, this is one of the few pla
ces the Missouri can be safely bridged (a
permanent channel is here created by the
bluff rocks on the southern shore,) over
which a magnificent structure is now being
built, at an approximate cost of SBOO,OOO.
intended for both railroad and wagon pur :
poses. With such a concentration of" rail- j
roads, together with its river communica
tion, capable of carrying first class steam :
boats most all the year, backed by a ceun j
try, south, south-west and west, ihe most 1
fertile imaginable, capable of su t aiding a
dense agricultural population, with a cli
mate unsurpassed for mildness and salubri
ty, with good water and an abundance of j
fuel, Kansas City cannot fail to become, at j
no distant day, the metropolis of the Mis
souri valley.
Trade, however, is dull here as elsewhere, j
hut it is partially owing to the Indian hos
tilities along the line of the Union Pacific .
Railroad, which drives all travel westward
to Colorado, and to the Upper Railroad,
and also from the great fear manifested front
the ravages of the Grass- Hopper —a specie
of Locust which made their appearance hen
last October. They have already fulfilled
their destiny here, and have taken wings i
and flew away. Upon what portion of the
country they may light to deposit their eggs,
I know not, but suppose from the direction
they fly, it will be lowa and Illinois. The
injury they have done here this season is !
comparatively small, and an abundant yield :
of corn and potatoes is reasonably expected.
The wheat crop is harvested and is consid-, j
ered good.
1 am temporarily located in Kansas City. ,
but have not yet engaged in business, j
Should I do so, I may settle here perma
nently, but desire to visit Colorado first,
from which I have been prevented in con
sequence of Indian hostilities, :;ud a proper
regard to the wishes of my family.
Excuse my long letter. I could extenuate
it ten-fold from what I have seen and heard
since I left tuy old county, and not seeui to
he uninteresting; but for the present F must
forbear. At some future time I'll write
again. Kindly yours, Ac.
GEO. W. HOUSEHOLDER.
FROM THE COUNTRY.
BEDFORD TOWNSHIP, July 22, 1807.
Editors Bedford Inquirer: —ln regard to
a matter that recently came to my notice, I
would fimply ask a question. How is i t
that, in matters of publie interest, there is
a discrimination as to the publishing of such
notices as should be brought before, the pub- '
lie through the instrumentality of both news
papers? The "Building Committee" of"
Bedford townshiidesired to contract with
lhe lovett bidder, for the erection of two
school houses inßedford township, the
contract to be awaled by public outcry and
yet the notice tbathe "Committee" meant
to receive bids on he 20th of July, at 10
o'clock a. m., aiipwed only in (he GamgUe.
I am a subscribe: to the INQUIRER, and
had only hetud tha these contracts were to
tie awarded. I dared to bid, but simply
: because I do not ake the Gazelle, knew
nothing of tho tiun or place. \\ as it the
intention of the''Building Committee"
that none but Dcrocrat.- and readers of the
: Gazette should be nformcd so as to put in
their bids? I hope ot. I know you care noth
! ing for the eomposation you might receive
' for the publishingjf such matters, hut lte
publieans as well is Democrats should be
allowed to know stucthing of the public af
fairs of the towrhip. They certainly do
not mean to prosoibe us? A BUILDER.
XLth CON(iR^8 —Adjourned Session.
WASHINGTON,IF uly 23, 180". —The prin
cipal feature of he week's Congressional
proceedings was ho reception ot the Presi
dent's veto message of the supplemental re
construction bill. It was considered in the
regular Cabinet ueeting on the 19th, and
sent to the Iloue, the body in which the
bill originated, nout 2 P. M. on that day.
It is asserted on xcellcot authority that an
elaboration of tb Presidential views on the
southern debt atestion was cut off the mes
sage at the cabeefc meeting. The reading
of the tioeitmcil in the House was listened
to throughout Vith close attention, every
member being i big seat. No demonstra
tions of absent or <I-sent were made, but a
severe onslaught allowed its leading.
Thad. Stevens took tie floor in denunciation
of it, and was suceeecnd by Mr. Boutweli,
who proceeded in an arnest and excited
manner to state that the President had de
fiantly declared in the message that he would
not execute a law of Congress, despite the
fact that Congress would unke the bill to
which the President objected the supreme
law of the land. This was sufficient, he said,
even if no other reason existed, why this
House should eantinue in session, and pro
ceed at once to impeach the President. .Mr.
Boutweli proceeicd in this strain, and in
sisted that if th President were itinoved
but for an hour before his term of office cx
piied, that Congress and the nation would
De vindicated.
The Democrats occupied ten minutes of
the hour's debate; the vote was then taken
and the bill passed over the President's
veto, by a vote of yeas, 109; nays, 24.
It was then sent to the Senate, where, to
the surprise of many, the bill was passed
over the veto without any debate, the mo
ment the message was rend, by thirty to six.
Itevcrdy Johnson voted to sustain the veto.
As soon as the House disposed of one
veto, another eamc in, refusing Presidential
approval to the Appropriation bill to carry
out the Reconstruction act. This was
speedily passed over thevetoin both houses
without (i' hate.
Both Houses of Congress adjournsd at
half past four on the afternoon of the 20th
to the 21st of November next. There was
a slim attendance in each House on that day
which fact, in the lower branch, gave the
friend* of impeachment an opportunity to
accomplish something. Aftct a spicy de
bate !•••■ '■ i ii M'-.-.-rs. Wii-am, Williams and
Woodbridge, i resolution was offered requir
ing the Judiciary Committee to submit the
testimony taken on impeachment forthwith
to the House. The vote was 57 to 45, and
the absence of the Democrats, together
with a number of Republicans, gave the irn
peaciiei ■ a decided victory. The result,
however, surprised every one, and created
uc little -ensation about the cajiitol. Mr.
Wilson, chairman of the Judiciary, imme
diately summoned the members of the Com
mittee to their room, where the evidence
wa* gl—-"J, fit b>s Wee j,jin
fect volumes and other portions in huge piles
of manuscript. The Committee held a brief
meeting, ana hurriedly brought the evidence
in the hall. It then wanted but a short time
of the hour for final adjournment and seem
ingly by a concerted movement on the part
of those opposed to having the testimony
submitted, the floor was occupied until the
Speaker's hammer fell announcing the close
of the session. The Committee, therefore,
had no opportunity to comply with the or
der of '.he House, and the evidence was car
ried back by arm-full to the committee
room. This sharp practice was not discern
ed in time, either by the committee or its
opponents, for no one seemed to doubt that
every moment would bring the presentation
of the important documents profomin from
the Speaker's table. The fiiembcrs of the
committee had even commenced to give the
representatives of tlm pre*- *ueh portions of
the evidence as had been printed, and there
were lively times among them as they rush
ed around calling in the copies they had fur
nished. In some eases the copies were re
luctantly returned, but the committee feel
assured that none of the evidence has leaked
out. The result seems to lie that no report
of the evidence will now be made until the
meeting of the House the last of next No
vember.
Judge Williams.
Judge Williams is of the good old Revo
lutionary stock, which achieved our national
independence in I77ti, and from his anees-,
t r- he lias inherited a sturdy love of liberty,
independence, freedom, and national union,
which has been strengthened by the great
events of these later times, lie was born in
the beautiful valley of the Connecticut—a
State which has given birth to such men as
Henry Baldwin. Walter Forward. Garred
Mallory, and William Strong—and is now
in the full prime and vigor of manhood.
From the people, and of them, he has been
mainly the architect of his own fortunes.
His father, a well to do farmer, held, with
most New England fathers of that day, that
it was better for boys to help themselves
than to he dependent upon tlie paternal sav
ing-, and after having furnished his son with
the means of acquiring an education, he sent
him funb from the paternal home, at an
early age, to make his way in the world and
fight the battle of life unaided save by his
own energy and talents.
In college, Judge Williams gave promise
of his future success. He became at once
one of the most popular men of his class.
He immediately took high rank as a scholar,
especially as a speaker, a writer, a debater,
a logician and a metaphysician. He grad
uated at Amherst College, Massachusetts,
in 1 st'7, and so proud has his Alma Mater
been of this one olher favorite sons, that she
some time since honored herself by bestow
ing upon him the honorary degree of Doctor
of Laws. In the spring of 1839 he com
menced reading law in the office of cx-Cliief
Justice Lowrie, of this city, and was admit
ted to the bar ot this county in May, 1841.
He practiced his profession as a partner with
bis preceptor, and subsequently with the
late W in. M. Shimi, untill elevated for the
first time to his present position in the fall
of 1851.
As a lawyer. Judge Williams was a cau
tious. safe, and reliable lawyer, and an earn
est. eloquent, and generally successful advo
cate. His dealings with his clients were
ever characterised byjustiee and faithfulness,
in the fall of 1851 he was elected to the oo
sitiou which he now holds, his opponent be
ing Judge Bhaier, a lawyer of eminent ability
and bearing. He ran ahead of his ticket in
the ward in which he lived, in "'the old
Democratic Third ward," and in the county
beating his able opponent 2,245. .So well,
faithfully, impartially, and satisfactorily did
Judge IV illiams discharge the duties of his
office, and so learned, upright, and useful a
judge did he prove himself to he in the esti
mation of all men, that at the end of his
first judicial term of teu years, in 1801, he
was nominated by acclamation by the then
great party of the country, and elected
wiihout opposition from any quarter. Such
renewed evidences of popularity and ap
preciation in our own neighborhood, and
among men of all parties, are very rare, and
most clearly foreshadow the very flattering
vote which the Judge will receive from the
people of this county on the second Tuesday
of October next.— Pittsburgh paper.
IN maintaining the correctness of the
I'rosident's view that by denying the legality
of the governments of the seceding Stales,
Congress made the general government re
sponsible for the debts of those States, the
Democratic journals ran before they wore
sent. Not a Senator has ventured to en
dorse tho Presidential quiddit. In the House
only eighteen members could be found to
dissent from a declaration that the President
intended to stab the national credit.
PRESIDENT JOHNSON at last threatens to
do a sensible thing, which is to resign, in
case his forthcoming veto shall not be treat
ed with the respect no feels to be due from
Congress. If Congressional disrespect is
tolerable under any circumstances, a little
might be useful just here.
GEN. JAMES LONGSTREKT has been nam
ed for the Benate from Louisiana by the
Jackson (Miss.) Clarion, "feeling that the
honor of the South would be secure if confi
ded in council to the keeping of one wbo
guarded it so well in the field."
THE St. Louis Journal is authority for
the assertion that many of the leading
Democrats of the country arc pulling the
political wires to place General McClcllan
once more in nomination for the Presidency.
Mr. JAMES JONES, editor of the Jersey
Shore 1 'alette is recommended as the Re

her country home after a sojourn of a few months
in New York, was hardly recognized by her
friends. In place of a rustic, flushed face, she
had a soft, ruby complexion, of almost marble

Magnolia Balm, and would not be without it.
Any lady can improve her personal appearance
very much by using this article. It can be order
